A VANDERBILT STORY.
How Young BOstOnian Secured an Inter

How Young BOstOnian Secured an Inter-
view with the Commodore.
A veteran Boston broker tells the Boston

tidy little sum of twenty thousand dollars.

"About what!"
"About my placing my money"
Il thought this was the maddest idea that
ever entered a human head. l told him
that the Commodore wouldn't waste twenty
seconds on twenty-thousand investment.
But he would not be persuaded, and one
night, about ten o'clock, he rang the door
bell at the Vanderbilt residence. After
some delay, a servant answered and demand
ed his business.
Here's my card said the young Bos-
tonian. Mr.. John Smith, Boston. Tell the
Commodore that 1 must see him tonight

in the morning.

and me. must see him tonight, if only for
five minutes
The servant disappeared only to return
with the message from the Commodore that
he would see Mr.. Smith if the business was
OF the utmost Importance. The Bostonian
followed the servant up into a little dress

wrapped in a flannel garment of the night.

them up SO that seven legs make dozen.

p. T. Barnam has given a New Yorl
Tribune reporter some interesting reminis
cences of Jenny Lind. Said the veteran
shOwman: "Jenny Lind's natural i'm
pulses were most noble and good; never
met person so susceptible to the wants
needs or sufferings of others. 1 could
any time make her tears flow by relating
some case of want, and her dollars woulC
flow freely with her tears. She could no.
bear the thought of passing by on tn,
other side,' when she could relieve the
sorrow of any being, however humble.
Mr.. Barnum told touching story of ar
incident that occurred when Jenny was
singing in Boston. "a poor working GIRL
he said, "thrust three dollars into the
hands of the ticket seller at the Boston
Temple for back seat at Jenny's concert
On receiving the ticket she said: There
goes my wages for one week, but I mus

retary, her cousin Max Hjortzberg, hearo
the remark and Immediately went to the
green-room and laughingly told it tc

and put it in her hands, with my love
God bless herr Cousin Max found the
girl, gave her the money and message
and witnessed a food of grateful tears
from the working girls eyes. If she is
alive to-day she will remember it.
"When l was struggling against the
Jerome clock debts, in 1857 Mr.. Barnun
went on, 81 took my wife and children tc
London. One day Jenny's husband, Otto
Goldsmith, called on me and said: Mrs.
Lind, hearing of your financial mis-
fortune, desired me to call on you and saw
if few hundred pounds, or a thousand,
will serve TO relieve your present wants
l am TO hand it to you with her kindest
regards. We are now living in Dresden.
and my wife says if you will take youI
family there she will gladly find you nice
apartments at a low rent, and we shall.
both be glad to render you any service we
can.' The kind offer was declined with
thanks, but it shows the charitable char
acter of this almost angelic woman.
"She has two children, the elder a son.
The daughter has a voice which Sir Julius
Benedict told me he believed if cultivated
would prove equal to her mothers. But
he added. 'her parents are rich, and have
no ambition to have her attain musical re-
nown, which would involve such arduous
study and practice.'
"Her share of profits in our musical
campaign in 1850 and 1851 was sos, ,675. 90.
She sang in ninety-three concerts. She
was worth over 81, ,00),0 when she left
the United States in 1851. and this sum
has been increased by occasional concerts
in Great Britain and by the judicious in
vestments of her husband"
